One moment on the field can change everything, just like sometimes life shifts in a single moment, leaving behind pain that doesn’t fade quickly. Pastor Mike reminds us what it means to trust that our pain is not pointless. Even when the path feels confusing or backward, God is at work in ways we may not yet see. Sometimes the hardest moments become the very times when his purpose begins to unfold.

About the Author
Pastor Mike Novotny
Pastor Mike Novotny has served God’s people in full-time ministry since 2007 in Madison and currently at The CORE in Appleton, Wisconsin. He also serves as the lead speaker for Time of Grace, where he shares the good news about Jesus through television, radio, print, and online platforms. Mike loves seeing people grasp the depth of God’s amazing grace and unstoppable mercy. His wife continues to love him (despite plenty of reasons not to), and his two daughters open his eyes to the love of God for every Christian. When not talking about Jesus or dating his wife/girls, Mike loves playing soccer, running, and reading.“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
